[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] igb_uio: deprecate sys files

[Helin Zhang]

'max_read_request_size', and announced the planned ABI changes of
them.

v2:
 - Kept the sys files as they were, and added ABI change announcement for them.
 - Moved high performance part of i40e from 'GSG' to a new for .nics'.

-High Performance of Small Packets on 40G NIC
---------------------------------------------
-
-As there might be firmware fixes for performance enhancement in latest version
-of firmware image, the firmware update might be needed for getting high performance.
-Check with the local Intel's Network Division application engineers for firmware updates.
-The base driver to support firmware version of FVL3E will be integrated in the next
-DPDK release, so currently the validated firmware version is 4.2.6.
-
-Enabling Extended Tag and Setting Max Read Request Size
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-PCI configurations of ``extended_tag`` and max _read_requ st_size have big impacts on performance of small packets on 40G NIC.
-Enabling extended_tag and setting ``max_read_request_size`` to small size such as 128 bytes provide great helps to high performance of small packets.
-
-*   These can be done in some BIOS implementations.
-
-*   For other BIOS implementations, PCI configurations can be changed by using command of ``setpci``, or special configurations in DPDK config file of ``common_linux``.
-
-    *   Bits 7:5 at address of 0xA8 of each PCI device is used for setting the max_read_request_size,
-        and bit 8 of 0xA8 of each PCI device is used for enabling/disabling the extended_tag.
-        lspci and setpci can be used to read the values of 0xA8 and then write it back after being changed.
-
-    *   In config file of common_linux, below three configurations can be changed for the same purpose.
-
-        ``CONFIG_RTE_PCI_CONFIG``
-
-        ``CONFIG_RTE_PCI_EXTENDED_TAG``
-
-        ``CONFIG_RTE_PCI_MAX_READ_REQUEST_SIZE``
-
-Use 16 Bytes RX Descriptor Size
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-As i40e PMD supports both 16 and 32 bytes RX descriptor sizes, and 16 bytes size can provide helps to high performance of small packets.
-Configuration of ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC`` in config files can be changed to use 16 bytes size RX descriptors.
-
-High Performance and per Packet Latency Tradeoff
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Due to the hardware design, the interrupt signal inside NIC is needed for per
-packet descriptor write-back. The minimum interval of interrupts could be set
-at compile time by ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_ITR_INTERVAL`` in configuration files.
-Though there is a default configuration, the interval could be tuned by the
-users with that configuration item depends on what the user cares about more,
-performance or per packet latency.

+I40E Poll Mode Driver
+=====================
+
+The I40E PMD (**librte_pmd_i40e**) provides poll mode driver support
+for **Intel X710/XL710/X722** 10/40 Gbps family of adapters.
+
+High performance of small packets
+---------------------------------
+
+As there might be firmware fixes or enhancements for performance in newer
+version of firmware images, firmware update might be necessary for getting
+high performance. In addition, host driver version is also important for
+DPDK VF performance if kernel PF driver is being used. Check with the local
+Intel Network Division application engineers for helps on firmware upgrade
+and kernel driver upgrade. Release 16.04 will be validated with NVM 5.xx.
+
+Extended Tag
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PCI configuration of ``extended_tag`` has big impact on small packet size
+performance of 40G ports. Enabling ``extended_tag`` can help 40G port to
+achieve the best performance, especially for small packet size.
+
+- Disabling/enabling ``extended_tag`` can be done in some BIOS implementations.
+- If BIOS does not enable it, and does not support changing it, tools
+  (e.g. ``setpci`` on Linux) can be used to enable or disable ``extended_tag``.
+- From release 16.04, ``extended_tag`` is enabled by default during port
+  initialization, users don't need to care about that anymore.
+
+Use 16 bytes RX descriptor size
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As i40e PMD supports both 16 and 32 bytes RX descriptor sizes, and 16 bytes
+size may help a bit for high performance of small packet size. Configuration
+of ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC`` in config files can be changed
+to use 16 bytes size RX descriptors.
